Lucia Syrah Susan's Hill has a incredible liquid mineral/damp earth quality to go with pure blackberry, cassis, wood smoke, wild herbs, plum and pepper on the nose. Full-bodied, rich, and powerful, yet with a deft, clean feel and chewy tannin on the finish, this beauty shines with an hour in the decanter (even better on the second day). And a long finish, by the way.

The wine looks purple-ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. And some of that deep color was evident on the pour where the wine showed a medium to deep purple color; nose of spicy black cherry; this is a big and full bodied wine; flavors of mostly dark fruit, boysenberry and blueberry with dark chocolate notes; nice acidity, dry into a finish that last forever.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like vanilla, strawberry and brambleberry. It tastes like blackberry and raspberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture, velvety tannins. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
